What would have happened if Jane had been born male?
James Bennet is the perfect heir to Longbourn. He is always looking out for his sisters and mother, making sure they have the opportunity to receive proper education, and always making sure they have the guidance and direction they need. He purchased a small cottage to ensure that his mother and sisters had somewhere to live in the event that something happened to him and his father. He works tirelessly on the estate to ensure that Longbourn is profitable. He puts any additional money that comes into the estate towards ensuring that his sisters have dowries that are appropriate for their social standing.
The summer before the story began, James had done the Darcy family a great service, almost certainly keeping Georgiana from ruin. Between the debt owed to the Bennets and the younger girls being away at school, Darcy's objections to the Bennets are greatly lessened. Despite the divide in their social standing, the Darcys and the Bennets find themselves drawn to each other. Yet, given their differing situations, can their connection ever become deeper than just friendship?

There is no elder sister Jane in this variation. Kitty and Lydia are in school. The Bennet first born is James which makes him the heir apparent, of course. Mr. Bennet is still indolent and James runs Longbourn. However, when Collins shows up casting doubts upon his paternity and engages in villainous mischief at the prompting of Lady Catherine, the result is not without consequences.

If you aren't turned off by re-casting in your P&P and love a long one I would strongly recommend this story. Obvi - no need to tell a stroy about StevieZ, she is the undisputed queen of this genre!

To me the plethora of additional families added especially at the end really didn't work well. felt the story drag down before it ended.
